DRF and self join

[Shekar Tippur]

Hello,

I am looking for a model/serializer/view for a self join. I can have nested paernt child relationship.

The one I am trying:

model:

class ParentChild(models.Model):

     parent=models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False, default='', unique=True)

     child=models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True )

Serializer

class ParentChileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = ParentChild
        fields = ('id', 'parent','child_id')

View

??

Not sure how to proceed. Appreciate any help.

Have a look at this SO post that the DRF author responded to for a similar situation.

As far as the view, you'll need to be more specific about what you want the view to do. The serializer is probably the hard part though.

Thanks James. I had seen this link earlier but was not sure if I understood it right. Revisiting this link after your post made it clear.

Thanks again for the pointer.
